Description

Obtains an array that has been created.

Syntax

1	GetArray()

Return value

pbarray.

Examples

This example sets up an array, reads in values, and then obtains
the values in the array:

LPCTSTR *ostr_a;
char **sp;
int i;
pbarray out_array;
arrayBounds* bounds;
pbuint dim1, dim2, current_dim;
pblong itemcount1, itemcount2;
PBXRESULT ret;
PBArrayInfo* ai;
pbstring *iarg, *oarg;
typedef PBBoundedArrayCreator&lt;pbvalue_string&gt;
BoundedStringArrayCreator;

in &gt;&gt; dim1;
// allocate memory for pointer bounds 
bounds = (arrayBounds*)malloc(dim1*sizeof
(PBArrayInfo::ArrayBound));
bounds = new arrayBounds[dim1];
// read in lowerbound and upperbound for each dimension
// and calculate the array item count
itemcount1 = 1;
for (i=0;i&lt;dim1;i++)
{
in &gt;&gt;bounds[i].lowerBound &gt;&gt; bounds[i].upperBound; 
itemcount1 = itemcount1*
(bounds[i].upperBound - bounds[i].lowerBound +1);
}
sp = new char*[itemcount1];
ostr_a = new LPCTSTR[itemcount1];
iarg = new pbstring[itemcount1];
// Read in array items
for (i=0; i&lt;itemcount1; i++)
{
sp[i] = new char[20];
in &gt;&gt; sp[i]; 
iarg[i]= session-&gt;NewString(sp[i]);
}
// create bounded simple array and set iarg[i] to it
{
BoundedStringArrayCreator ac(session, dim1, bounds);
current_dim = 1;
BoundedArrayItem&lt;pbstring, pbvalue_string,
BoundedStringArrayCreator&gt;::f_set_arrayitem
(session, ac, dim1, bounds, iarg, current_dim);
BoundedArrayItem&lt;pbstring, pbvalue_string,
BoundedStringArrayCreator&gt;::array_itemcount = 0;
out_array = ac.GetArray();
}

LPCTSTR *ostr_a;

char **sp;

int i;

pbarray out_array;

arrayBounds* bounds;

pbuint dim1, dim2, current_dim;

pblong itemcount1, itemcount2;

PBXRESULT ret;

PBArrayInfo* ai;

pbstring *iarg, *oarg;

typedef PBBoundedArrayCreator<pbvalue_string>

BoundedStringArrayCreator;

in >> dim1;

// allocate memory for pointer bounds

bounds = (arrayBounds*)malloc(dim1*sizeof

(PBArrayInfo::ArrayBound));

bounds = new arrayBounds[dim1];

// read in lowerbound and upperbound for each dimension

// and calculate the array item count

itemcount1 = 1;

for (i=0;i<dim1;i++)

{

in >>bounds[i].lowerBound >> bounds[i].upperBound;

itemcount1 = itemcount1*

(bounds[i].upperBound - bounds[i].lowerBound +1);

}

sp = new char*[itemcount1];

ostr_a = new LPCTSTR[itemcount1];

iarg = new pbstring[itemcount1];

// Read in array items

for (i=0; i<itemcount1; i++)

{

sp[i] = new char[20];

in >> sp[i];

iarg[i]= session->NewString(sp[i]);

}

// create bounded simple array and set iarg[i] to it

{

BoundedStringArrayCreator ac(session, dim1, bounds);

current_dim = 1;

BoundedArrayItem<pbstring, pbvalue_string,

BoundedStringArrayCreator>::f_set_arrayitem

(session, ac, dim1, bounds, iarg, current_dim);

BoundedArrayItem<pbstring, pbvalue_string,

BoundedStringArrayCreator>::array_itemcount = 0;

out_array = ac.GetArray();

}
